Thor Returns To Our World, While Kevin Feige Plays The Long Game

While I was away, a new trailer for Thor: The Dark World appeared. It is largely the same as the previous trailer, featuring the same voice overs and many of the same sequences, with additional random bits of dialogue from characters like Idris Elba's Heimdall and Ray Stevenson's Volstagg. It doesn't sell any more of the story then the last trailer did, though it shows that more of the film will be spent on Earth then the previous footage suggested.

While Thor is busy stealing references from Indiana Jones, Kevin Feige has suggested that, though they won't be announcing anything anytime soon, that Marvel films has planned their film lineup up to 2021, which would would presumably end with Avengers 3, and bring a close to Phase 3. Said Feige: Will that happen? I don’t know. But what we planned for 2015 in 2006 is happening." Marvel's had a pretty good track record with doing what they said they were going to, the only hiccup that comes to mind being the SHIELD film that looks like it became the Captain America sequel, and the somewhat unexpected addition of the Agents of SHIELD TV series to the MCU.

What's important to take away from all this is, Rene Russo still appears to be able to kick all of our asses. That comforts me.
